'It's A Very Good Team'- Ajax's Cameroon GK Praises Super Eagles Ahead Of Battle Of Alexandria

Published: July 04, 2019

Ajax Amsterdam's Cameroon goalkeeper André Onana had some words of praise for the Super Eagles ahead of a potential Africa Cup of Nations classic between both countries at the Alexandria Stadium on Saturday evening.

One of the stars of the Ajax side that reached the semifinal of last season's Champions League, Onana is predicting a difficult clash against the round of 16 opponents.

The former Barcelona glovesman is enjoying his best spell of form at international level as he is yet to concede in his last four competitive appearances for the Indomitable Lions.

On the flip side, Onana's teammates have lost their scoring touch, firing blanks in their last two group matches at the AFCON against Ghana and Benin.

''I expect them (Super Eagles) to play well, as always. It is a very good team. But we are ready. We continue to the end,'' Onana told Fox Sports.

''I'm excited. It's getting exciting. Everyone wants to play such a match. We will see what happens. "

The Super Eagles have not lost to Cameroon in regulation time since they were beaten 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier in August 1989.
